Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040: The True Power of the Soul Bell!_1 Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040: The True Power of the Soul Bell!_1 “Ethan Smith has won!”

Cheers erupted from the crowd!

Everyone was overjoyed, shouting continuously!

However, the disciples in the Mystic Realm couldn’t help but sigh slightly.

Even Star had lost; how could their Mystic Realm stop Ethan Smith’s unstoppable momentum?

Amid the roars, Ethan Smith remained silent. Carrying Star, he walked through the crowd and returned to his room.

“Bring Lulu here.” Ethan Smith placed Star on his bed and said coldly.

As he spoke, Ethan Smith raised his palm and placed it on Star’s chest.

Traces of breath entered Star’s body.

After a brief examination, Ethan Smith’s expression changed slightly.

He saw that Star’s meridians were completely broken, and her injuries were extremely severe!

But Ethan Smith knew very well that his moves couldn’t have possibly injured Star to such an extent!

“What happened?” Ethan Smith frowned.

Had Star been injured before she arrived?

Ethan Smith didn’t dare to be negligent. He tapped a few points on Star’s body with his fingers, temporarily protecting her heart meridian.

Looking at the extremely weak Star, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “Luckily I was here, otherwise, you might have truly died in the wilderness.”

At this moment, Jackson Harris walked in from the door.

Seeing this, Ethan Smith stood up immediately, “Senior Jackson Harris.”

Jackson nodded and looked at Star lying on the bed, “Is she alright?”

Ethan Smith furrowed his eyebrows and said, “Star’s condition is very strange.”

After that, Ethan Smith explained his diagnosis to Jackson Harris.

After listening, Jackson did not show much surprise but looked up at Ethan Smith.

“Did you feel that something was strange about this battle?” Jackson asked.

“Huh?” Ethan Smith’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

After Jackson’s reminder, Ethan Smith seemed to have noticed something strange as well.

For example, Star’s repeated shouts when using the Soul Bell, and the fact that she could have activated it a second time but never landed her palm.

None of it made sense.

“Senior Jackson, could it be…that Star did this on purpose?” Ethan Smith said in a low voice.

However, Jackson Harris did not jump to any conclusions.

Ethan Smith’s eyebrows furrowed even more.

Why would Star do this? What’s the point?

At this time, Lulu came in from the door.

“Lulu, come here quickly.” Ethan Smith waved to Lulu.

Lulu walked over to Ethan Smith, and when she saw Star on the bed, she couldn’t help but be shocked.

“Lord Star!” Lulu covered her mouth with a small exclamation.

Ethan Smith glanced at her and said, “Do you know her?”

“Of course, nobody in the Second Secret Realm doesn’t know Lord Star.” Lulu said.

Ethan Smith grew increasingly surprised.

Judging from Lulu’s tone, she seemed to have a favorable impression of Star.

“Can you tell me Star’s story?” Ethan Smith pulled out a stool and let Lulu sit down.

Lulu nodded, and then told Ethan Smith everything she knew.

After a brief exchange, Ethan Smith learned that Star was quite popular in the Second Secret Realm.

Regardless of the Fraley family’s teams or ordinary martial artists.

There was only one reason: Star was very friendly and approachable without any airs.

Aside from being called Lord Star, she also had another title: Star Generalissimo.

The reason being that she controlled most of the martial artists in the Second Secret Realm.

“If it weren’t for Lord Star, the Fraley family would have lost people’s hearts long ago.” Lulu said.

Ethan Smith was somewhat surprised and asked, “Why do you say that?”

Lulu smiled bitterly, “The Fraley father and son have the same character. They rely on their strength and do whatever they want in the Second Secret Realm.”

“Every woman in the Second Secret Realm, once they reach a certain age, will be taken to the Palace for the Fraley father and son to choose.”

“If it wasn’t for Lord Star insisting on abolishing this rule, I’m afraid I would have become a plaything for the Fraley father and son long ago.”

After hearing Lulu’s words, Ethan Smith’s impression of Star changed a little once again.

He touched his chin and whispered, “Then why does she still serve the Fraley family?”

“I don’t know, but Lord Star is the confidant of the Fraley father and son, and also the person they trust the most.” Lulu said.

Ethan Smith remained silent.

He suddenly guessed something.

Did Star really intend to die in this battle? Was that why she stubbornly stood up again and again?

And her injuries, did she intentionally fracture her meridians before arriving?

“Lulu, do you know about the Soul Bell?”

At this time, Ethan Smith thought of something.

Lulu nodded and said, “Yes, the Soul Bell is one of the top magical artifacts of the Fraley family. It’s said that when you activate the Soul Bell, you can absorb the souls of others and turn them into an attack.”

“The more people around, the greater its power.”

Upon hearing this, Ethan Smith was shocked!

In other words, Star never really used the Soul Bell?

Her shouting continuously before activating the Soul Bell was to intentionally disperse the crowd?

Thinking about this, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but feel a bit scared!

If the Soul Bell had truly absorbed everyone’s souls, how terrifying would its power be? He would have become a lost soul under the Bell, wouldn’t he?
